[Path]

Impressive!

I think this is considerably better than your other work, not to discredit those, but this stands out.

The landscape is drawn very very well, especially considering how this is only in black and gray.

You use the crease between the two sketchbook pages artistically, which is really original and appropriate with the theme - the crease forms a "path" through your painting.

This is surreal but not as abstract as your other work.

Good good good

CptBeefcake responds:

Really? I've never thought this to be as refined as my other works, I'm surprised that you thought this one stood out. I've never thought of it as a good stand alone, rather an ink painting just to tag along with all the other quick studies I've done. I can't say its detailed but I can definitely agree it draws in the viewer, especially with the void in between the two pages.

Workingmen

Workingmen are by far the most interesting subject of a painting.

You can see the down-to-earth struggle of daily life. It's applicable to everybody.

Your choice of gray for the skin shows nobility in "toughing it out" through hard labor.

I like this a lot

[Girl in Ink]

Simple but Provocative

This is more impressive than you might realize.

The division of colors draws my attention to the eyes, the nose, and especially the lips.

This drawing is intensely psychological with almost sexual undercurrents.

This piece is remarkable because of the way the figure's personality is expressed, it exudes sexuality without nudity and other emotions with its mixed facial expressions.

Sort of like a puzzle

DrSevenSeizeMD responds:

That's exactly what I was going for. Thank you for the review. :-)

Very Spontaneous

It's like a single, complex flow of ideas sucking the ink out of your pen.

Very interesting conceptually.

DrSevenSeizeMD responds:

Thank you muchly, and I did run out of ink. :-)

Yes, a fine work indeed

8 out of 10

GOOD:

-Your technical use of a blank background emphasizes the personality of the figures in the painting.

-By giving a robot human qualities and drawing it in the laid back style that you demonstrate, you're creating an artistic contradiction based on the archetype that robots are incapable of emotion.

This is thinking man's art as it should be.

BAD

Tell that pussy to plug it in already, but make sure he wraps it before he taps it.

The art portal has an adult rating, come on and show me some robo-tits, asshole.
